I'm not a leftist, bro. But don't let your conservative outlook keep you from being intellectually honest about your country's sordid history in the Middle East.

You have a degree in Middle Eastern history? No wonder you want it to be rebuilt. You need a future caliphate destroying it to keep your degree relevant.

No it didn't. Did you see any reports that the USA was over there fighting in the name of Christ?

I'm quite sure this had some sort of logical meaning to you in your head. I'm not quite sure what that would be, however.

It's strange we still have wars in our advanced stages of development. They never end well for anyone.

Yes. Why spend billions of dollars building something back up so the next group of insurgents can knock it down?

The Marshal plan sure sucked and did a terrible job at stopping communism from spreading through Western Europe right. I guess now that ISIS is out of Mosul no one will ever be tempted by religious extremism ever again.

Thanks for making that clear for him. They obviously don't teach logic when someone is learning about people fighting over plots of water in the desert.

You know, ignorance is OK, but I've never understood people like you that gleefully wallow in their ignorance. It's pathetic and sad.

And what do you happen to do for a living (since you're in the habit of calling other people's degrees "bullshite)?
